The 4 Energy Levels Quietly Hitting EBITDA [Episode 229]

Burnout rarely looks expensive at first. It shows up in smaller decisions, slower recovery, and leadership pressure that quietly spreads through the company. What feels personal at the CEO level eventually reaches the numbers.
Robert Mixon reframes balance as an energy problem, not a time problem. When physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy start breaking down, decision quality drops, resilience weakens, and the business begins to absorb the cost in culture, cash flow, and EBITDA.
